1.) Electrical problems and the windshield (assuming it is an inspection 
issue). If the rear suspension is a safety issue then do this to. If it is just 
dragging take your time. The main thing is get the car safe and reliable for 
the road.
[Start driving it]
2.) Do the paint, obviously do any exterior and structural body work at the 
time.
[Make it a good 20/20 car (nice when viewed at 20 feet or twenty miles and 
hour)]
3.) Do the big interior things that affect comfort and safety, seats not on the 
floor, carpets to keep it quieter. You can work on the panels and dash bit by 
bit after that.
Everything else will keep you puttering with the car for the next twenty years 
which is half the fun of it
Just my $.02 YMMV

I recently purchased a '72 B at an auction. Now that it moves in and out of the 
garage under its own power, there are a few things that need done, like new 
paint, new interior and seats, rear suspension, new windshield, minor surface 
rust in the floors, some mysterious electrical problems (thanks for the links 
that you all sent me for this, BTW)...
